African Yellow Sandcast Bead Necklace

These are African sandcast glass tube beads in the Akoso style. These antique beads were made in Ghana many years ago from pulverized glass. The beads are a golden yellow with accents of rust and green. The glass colors are poured into a clay mold to create the tube beads. They are strung in the traditional way on raffia.

These are lovely colors and will add a wonderful ethnic look to your jewelry. The Ghananians have been making beads in this manner since the 1600s.
